Petition text is given below:


To: NJ State and Middlesex County Administration
Honorable New Jersey State Governor Chris Christie,
Honorable State Attorney General Paula T. Dow,
Honorable Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula,
Honorable Middlesex Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan,
Honorable Old Bridge Mayor James T. Phillips,

The Indian American Community is deeply saddened and outraged at the
senseless and brutal murder of Indian American Dr. Divyendu Sinha on
late friday, June 25th, 2010 in front of his helpless wife and two
teenage sons by five teenagers at Old Bridge, New Jersey. This outrage
is shared by Americans across the various cross sections who along
with the community are at loss to understand the brutality of the
crime. About 5000 people from all walks of life have visited a website
set up to rally the community around the family of Dr. Sinha and
demand justice for the family
(www.JusticeForDivyenduFamily.wordpress.com ) in just three days and
great number of people have called into community radio programs about
the murder and call for help to the family.

While the jury is still out on whether this was a hate crime, this
brings memories of brutal attacks targeting Indian Americans during
1987- 1993. In one ghastly incident, members of a gang calling
themselves ‘dot busters’ used bricks to bludgeon to death an
Indian American man, Navroze Mody. During this period, homes of
several Indian Americans were robbed and men beaten during the middle
of the night. The community came together and with help of steps taken
by State and local administrations stemmed the tide of violence.
Again, five years ago, a woman from Holmdel named Geetha Angara was
murdered in a water treatment plant in Totowa, New Jersey, ostensibly
for professional jealousy. Till today the family of Dr. Geetha Angara
has not gotten justice. This latest incident of brutal murder of Dr.
Divyendu Sinha in front of his family is fanning the fear of
insecurity among the community.

Words cannot express the shock the community feels at the brutality of
this crime against a brilliant technocrat, a loving member of an ideal
family, who was loved by friends and community as well as his
students, colleagues and others. Dr. Divyendu was the sole bread
winner of the family with two teenage sons’ his wife and two sons
not only have to bear the loss but live with the memories of brutal
attack on their loved one right in front of them as they tried
helplessly to protect him. No matter to what community a victim of
such a crime belongs, justice calls for an exemplary punishment for
the assailants. Every possible assistance need to be provided to the
family that is victimized by such brutal violence.

The Indian American community has largest presence in the NJ/NY/PA
area. We have been strong contributors to the state economy with
expertise in technology, medical sciences and business management, and
are contributing to state employment through many established and
start-up businesses. Increasingly many Indian Americans are
contributing to public service as evidenced by their presence in state
and local levels.

We request you to take every step to bring justice to the family and
demand that the perpetrators of this gruesome crime be tried as
adults. This will also serve as an effective deterrent for any future
attacks. While the community is coming together to provide support to
the family, I ask that steps be taken by the government to ensure
adequate compensation to the family.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
The Undersigned
